Periodontal Treatment Near You
Gum disease (also called periodontal disease in Gaithersburg) is one of the most prevalent conditions affecting adult oral health; however, it usually occurs without any visible signs or symptoms until it is in the later stages of dental disease. Gingivitis is the initial stage of gum disease, which has the potential to be reversed to a healthy gum with proper oral care. Gum disease is caused when plaque (a slightly yellow film that forms on your teeth). Without treatment, this inflammation can progress into more serious forms of periodontal disease.
At our Gaithersburg dental clinic , we provide comprehensive gum disease therapy to help prevent, manage, and treat all stages of periodontal disease, protecting both your smile and your long-term health.
Understanding the Signs of Gum Disease
Gum infections occur due to the accumulation of harmful bacteria near the gum line. As more bacteria begin to grow around these infected areas, they will penetrate deeper into the surrounding supportive tissues, causing irritation associated with swelling, pain and inflammation. Early signs of gum disease near you, such as gingivitis, include:
Bad-smelling breath (halitosis)
Inflamed/red, and swollen gums
Gums that are prone to bleeding when brushed or flossed
Sensitive gums, and swollen gums
Minor gum recession (leads to sore gums)
However, many patients experience no noticeable discomfort, which is why regular dental checkups are crucial.

Progression to Periodontitis
If gingivitis is not addressed early, it can advance to periodontitis in Gaithersburg, a more severe stage of gum disease. Patients may notice shifting teeth, increased mobility, or persistent gum discomfort.
Periodontitis requires professional therapy to stop the progression and preserve your teeth.
Customized Care For Each Age Group
Scaling and Root Planing
Using the deep-cleaning process, plaque and tartar buildup are removed from the tooth surface, both above and below the gum line. Scaling and root planing will effectively remove plaque; however, if you still have deep pockets, further treatment may be required.
Ongoing Maintenance
For patients who have periodontal disease, there may be many instances where the patients require additional cleanings because of a buildup of bacteria and a continued decay of their gums and bones.
Advanced Therapy
Surgical procedures and/or special treatment of periodontitis may also be an option for patients with significantly higher stages of periodontal disease.
Pregnancy & Gum Health As A Special Consideration
Hormonal changes in women due to pregnancy often cause an increased likelihood of plaque production or potential for increased amounts of plaque associated with a woman, which can also result in what is called Pregnancy Gingivitis.

I would come here even if I didn't need to. The staff is amazing sweet and caring but also very knowledgeable and know what they are doing. I never had wait for very long but the office and schedule was always full. The dentist are almost magical and extremely talented. My case was not easy and I had seen dozen or so dentist prior to coming here and was let down by all of them. The dentist here are understanding, considerate and very patient. My issues were difficult to talk about and even more difficult to show and they were very considerate of that at every stage. Amazing place everyone should come here. Thank you to all the staff and dentist your guys are amazing.
